154 EXCHEQUER COURT REPORTS. [VOL. X. 1906 In the Encyclopceclia of Pleading and Practice (1) it is TUCKER stated " Where an appeal has been perfected, the juris- V. THE SHIP diction of the appellate court over the subject-matter TECUMSEH. and the parties, attaches, and the trial court has no power a n If to render any further decision affecting the rights of the ____ parties in the cause, until it is remanded." The appel- late court in this case has affirmed the judgment of the trial court, and there is therefore no remand back. And in British Natural Premium Provident Association v. Bywater (2). Byrne, J., while he allowed certain reserved costs of interlocutory motions, there having been no appeal, said : "Where interlocutory applications have been disposed of, but the coats have been reserved, such costs are not to be mentioned in the judgment or order, or allowed on taxation without the special directions of the judge. So far as I am personally concerned I shall in future deal with great jealousy with such applications, and shall not after judgment has been passed and entered allow costs reserved and not mentioned at the trialexcept under very special circumstances." On either of the above grounds I think there should be no order on this application. Motion dismissed. ,1) Vol. 2, p. 327. (2) [1897] 2 Ch. D. 531, at p. 532,
